Working details for Cost of Sales:

Since Selling price is 1331/3%

Therefore Cost of sales = 100/1331/3 x $252,800 =$189,600

Or alternative working:

Mark-up =331/3% =1/3

Margin =1/4

Margin = Gross Profit/Sales

=1/4 =Gross Profit/252,800

Gross profit = $63,200

Cost of sales = Sales – Gross Profit =$252,800-$63,200 = $ 189,600
